Nolan at 18 Months

Nolan has his 18 month check-up on Monday morning and everything looks great!  He had 2 shots this time: flu and his final Hep A.  The Dr. said this would be his last batch of shots until Kindergarten and I couldn't be happier about that! 

 

Here are the stats:

Height: 32.75 inches (65th percentile)

Weight: 25 pounds (30th percentile)

Head: 18.89 inches (30th percentile)

 

At 18 Months Nolan:

*Loves to jump off the floor and can do it without falling over

*We finally got rid of his Binky - I did it cold turkey and he didn't even complain or have a hard time without it.  We did this just after he turned 17 months old.

*Loves to feed himself and actually does a pretty good job.  He feeds himself yogurt, applesauce, waffles (even stabs them with a fork) and pretty much everything else we put in front of him.  It always ends messy but he wouldn't have it any other way.

*Still loves his Animal show

*Likes to walk everywhere and not be carried anymore

*Tantrums have begun and I'm talking sit/lay on the floor tantrums

*Brings us books to read to him

*Has to sit on our lap when we read to him

*Says, 'Mama', 'Dada', 'Nice', 'No', 'Graham Cracker', 'Banana', 'Yes', 'I do it', 'Cookie', 'Dog', 'Duck', 'Popye', 'Pie', 'Ball', 'Football', 'What doing' and a few more things I can't remember right now

*Loves to laugh

*Loves to "sing" songs

*His new favorite song is the "Itsy Bitsy Spider"

*Loves cousin Corbin and Easton

*Loves being outside

*Picks up sticks and leaves to bring in the house

*Doesn't like to crawl up and down the stairs - he has to go the "normal" way.  We still try to have him crawl, I think it is much safer at this point

*Hasn't climbed out of his crib yet although I'm sure it is just a matter of time before this happens

 

He keeps getting cuter and more fun as he gets older!
